'He [R. Buckminster Fuller] decided that he wanted to be an average individual who could apply himself to anything in the world.

When specialisation is dominant things don't work anymore. Extinction is the extreme outcome of specialisation'. Gavin Wade from 'upcycle this book: 26 texts by Gavin Wade & friends
